Events in recent decades have placed climate change at the top of the political agenda. In Sweden; energy-intensive industries are responsible for a large proportion of greenhouse gas emissions and their ability to switch to renewable energy sources could contribute to the transition to a decarbonised economy. This interdisciplinary study has its starting point in three energy-intensive industries’ opportunities to take part in the development towards increased refining and use of biomass. The study includes the pulp and paper industry; the iron and steel industry and the oil refining industry; each exemplified by a case company. It can be concluded that there are several technological options in each industry. On the other hand; implementing one option for increased use of biomass in each case company could demand up to 34% of the estimated increase in Swedish
biomass supply; in 2020. Additionally; in a longer time perspective none of the case companies believes that the amount of biomass in the Swedish industrial energy system have the possibility to increase significantly in the future.
